A car hit a power pole at about 8:05 Thursday in Sappho near the junction of Highway 101 and 113. It is believed that three people were transported to the Forks hospital by two ambulances. The Beaver Fire Department, Forks medics, Washington State Patrol and Clallam County Sheriff were at the scene. The power in the area was out for about two and a half hours. At least one driver reported seeing the vehicle recklessly passing other cars prior to the crash.

Dear Editor,I believe the second you

are diagnosed with cancer you become a victor (we changed this from survivor at our brunch in 2013). You, your family, your friends, even your co-workers come face-to-face with mortality, yours or even their own.

To honor that strength and courage, the Forks Relay for Life Committee and Gentle Touch Physical Therapy will co-sponsor the sixth annual Victory (Survivors’) Brunch on Saturday, May 31, at the Forks Congregational Church from 10 a.m. - noon. Guest speaker this year is Dr. Theo Matheny followed by Yoga instructor Michelle Simpson.

We invite any victor (sur-vivor) who would like to

attend but did not receive an invitation last year to leave a message at 360-327-3880, leaving your name, mailing address and telephone num-ber to be added to the invi-tation list. If you’re unable to attend this year but would like to receive,an invitation to next year’s brunch, please leave the same information and indicate you would like to be added to the 2015 invitation list.

Consider bringing a friend, a caretaker or another survivor. This is a time of shared information, support, encouragement and heart-felt exchange of stories and idea. Please join us if you can.

Senior Parent committee would like to extend a thank you for the community support at the Senior Scholarship Auction, along with the support for the Senior Café from which all proceeds go to the Graduation Senior Safe Night. In addition, they would like to announce the winners of the Sportsman’s basket. First Place Winner of the “Up to $1000 for a Gun of choice” do-nated by True Value was Dixie Gaydeski. Second Place Winner of the “River Guide Trip” do-nated by Angler’s Guide Ser-vices was John Shima and Third Place Winner of the “Two Ocuna

Fishing Rods” donated by Forks Outfitters was Linda Arbeiter.

When first-place winner Dixie Gaydeski went to select her gun, True Value owner Bob Stark said she requested a new sew-ing machine shaped like a gun.Stark also equated Gaydeski’s win of the gun to his winning a gift certificate to “Frederick’s of Hollywood.”

Gaydeski was able to select her prize and donated some of the money left over to the Kids Fish-ing Derby jar on Bob’s counter.

The Senior Parent Committee would like to say congratulations to all the winners.

Kelly Keys grew up in Port An-geles; she eventually went back to school and became an RN and started work at Forks Community Hospital in 2007. While working she continued her education, becoming a nurse practi-tioner in 2011.

At about that time her 2-1/2 year old grand-daughter was diagnosed with cancer and Keys decided she needed to be near her family. She put her house in Forks on the market and headed south.

Luckily things went well with her granddaughter and her cancer went in to remission with a good long-term prognosis, and Keys started thinking about Forks again. When she met up with Forks Hos-pital nurses Diane Gaydeski and

Debbie Anderson in Las Vegas they told her about an opening at Bogachiel Clinic.

Keys sent her resume, got the job and as her house hadn’t sold yet moved right back in. “It feels like I never left,” Keys said.

Keys is taking new patients at the Bogachiel clinic and is there Mon-day-Friday available to

see patients for health care needs including but not limited to: diabe-tes, hypertension, women’s health, children’s wellness.

“About a month before I met Diane and Debbie I was think-ing about coming back. Being at the Bogachiel Clinic is just like walking into my home,” Keys said.

A low-flying helicopter caused a lot of speculation over the weekend as to the purpose of its activity. Clallam Bay, Salmon Drive, Elk Valley and Merchant Road area residents all reported seeing the craft.

Officer Dom

They don’t lock their cars in Clallam Bay, do they?

by christy Rasmussen

I was talking with the chief of police a few weeks ago and I mentioned that I had never seen the inside of the Forks Jail. I was quick to add that this was simply due to luck in my teen-age years.

I was a foolish teenager who thought she was ten feet tall and bulletproof. As it turns out, I’m only 5 feet tall and fairly cer-tain that a bullet would pass through any part of my body….though I haven’t officially tested that theory yet. For all I know, I could be bulletproof. Probably not though.

Even considering that I was no angel back then, it was still quite shocking to wake up in the back of a police car with handcuffs on one morning when I was 17.

One of Forks’ finest walked over to me and informed me that I was getting ar-rested for a DUI….at 7:30 am. Though I was pretty certain that I had stayed sober the night before, my truck was in the ditch and I couldn’t remember anything so the

evidence was overwhelmingly NOT in my favor.To conceal his identity, out of respect, we shall refer to this

former Forks police officer as Dom Scott. Dom was not a friendly man that morning. I imagine he was pretty disgusted with a 17-year-old drunk driver.

I was disgusted with myself. Only alcoholics drink that early. Then I realized that I had urinated myself. Though this is not uncommon for very intoxicated people, I also noticed that I had practically bitten off my tongue. Ah ha! I wasn’t drunk.

I had a seizure! I tried to explain to Dom that I had epilepsy and hadn’t had one for a few years, but I was pretty sure that I had one that morning. Pointing out the fact that you peed your pants as proof of a seizure is very humbling, by the way. Men-tioning this in a column that a million people (give or take) read is also humbling, but a necessary part of the story.

Dom didn’t believe me at first. Immediately following a sei-zure, people often act like drunks. No hard feelings about the confusion. He eventually freed me, but unfortunately, Dom did write me a hefty ticket for the incidence.

That ticket alone was probably the reason Forks has a bal-anced budget. It was a “Driving with Wheels off the Road-way” citation. Dom liked to hand out tickets. Actually, I think we can all agree that Dom liked just using his badge whenever possible….even if you weren’t breaking the law.

The point of this all is to inform everyone that when you have a seizure, heart attack, stroke, etc., you are still expected to keep your wheels on the roadway. Though really only if Dom Scott is working in your town, which he is not in Forks anymore. I think the current police department has a bit more common sense.

I also like to praise them a lot….just in case it’s needed even-tually. I never know when I might wake up handcuffed in the back of a police car again.

One of my favorite things to do is spend a day in Clal-lam Bay and/or Sekiu. So last Thursday I asked my mom if she would like to join me for a

drive to the sister towns on the strait. It didn’t start out well though. As I was just about to Beaver I realized all

the paperwork I needed to take with me to Clallam Bay was on my desk in Forks.

So back to Forks and after re-trieving paperwork it was back on the road to Clallam Bay.

It was a beautiful drive it rained and the sun shined sometimes at the same time and the road department was cleaning ditches. Once in Clallam Bay the first stop was Sunset’s West Co-op where Jane greeted me with a hug and showed us around and hinted that there may be interest in a Forks co-op. The co-op was pretty impressive: potatoes, sweet potatoes, dairy, bulk items and herbs and spices as well as artwork filled the space.

Since the Chamber of Com-merce/visitors center was not open for the season, we moved on. The Three Sisters Art Gallery was also closed, but the drive along the water was beautiful; then we dipped down in to Sekiu.

The Café by the Bay was busy and outside the activity made you feel like spring was around the corner as several men went about their work.

We stopped for lunch at The Breakwater and enjoyed the view as we enjoyed lunch. The owner of the restaurant said things are hard, each year there are fewer people, but she

I find it heartwarming that somebody didn’t lock their car, especially when everyone in the world is so untrusting.

So, Clallam Bay/Sekiu, I plan more trips to your com-munity I will try to give you a heads-up so that you can all lock your cars, and I can bring my own duct tape.

is still there, and the food is still good.

Anything we feel in Forks about being left out or forgot-ten is magnified for those who live in Clallam Bay/Sekiu, but the people who live there, love it there. They are happy from the inside and if you go there you can see it by the way they love their community and the fun activities they create.

Our final stop was the Weel Road Deli, where not too long ago a man tried to hold the place up and the clerk wouldn’t have any part of it. It ended with some duct tape restraining the criminal. After taking care of business I came out of the deli and went to get in my car, but my mother was gone. Where did she go? Looking up I saw her sitting in the vehicle next to the vehicle I was getting into. While I was in the store a pick up identical to mine parked along side and I was getting in the wrong car.

The fact my mother was not in the passenger seat was not the only giveaway. There was no golden retriever hair in the twin car. So I shut the door on the wrong car and took a photo and quickly got in my own car.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m., “Taking the Pulse of Wash-ington’s Wetlands: How Will They Respond to a Changing Climate?” will be presented by Meghan Halabisky, a doctoral student in the Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Lab (RSGAL) at the University of Washington’s School of Envi-ronmental and Forest Sciences.

Wetlands provide society with

a wide range of ecosystem ser-vices. This includes: groundwa-ter recharge, critical habitat for plants, fish and wildlife, erosion control, water pollution mitiga-tion, food and recreational bases for people, and healthy water cycles and lake levels.

Without adequate baseline data we do not understand how changes to temperature and precipitation, such as those predicted for the coming century, will impact the hydrol-ogy, structure and function of wetlands.

In a research study, all pa-tients taking just one capful of the liquid (oneounce) daily, dramatically lowered their bloodsugar levels compared to a placebo group. An-other scientific study found that an ingredient inCinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capableconverting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient inthe study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite

being instructed not to change his dietary habitsor physical activity. Some patients, under theirdoctors care, have been able to reduce or elimi-nate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists saythat Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs towork more efficiently. Additional information isavailable at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescrip-tion at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502.

ROCHESTER – The Spartans opened up their league sched-ule Tuesday, March 25, versus Rochester and managed to put forth an effort as uneven as the weather. Rochester won the game by a 15-5 score in a five- inning contest that was marred by sideways rain and interrupted by intermittent rainbows. Forks put forth an effort that mirrored the inconsistency of the early spring weather.

After giving up one run in each of the first two innings, Forks answered back with a crooked number in the third frame to take

a 5-2 lead. Senior centerfielder Nate Gimlin led the Spartans offense, going 2-2 with an RBI while senior catcher Reece Hagan went 1-1 with an RBI. Reese Moody also got in on the one inning hit parade, going 1-2 on the day with 2 RBI’s.

Having chased the Warriors starting pitcher from the mound and established a lead, Forks looked to have Rochester on the run. Instead they wound up chasing their tails and missed balls more often than not. Com-pounding errors by Forks led to a steady march of Warriors around the base paths and a few timely hits plated 13 unan-

BEAVER – Forks and Tenino used up all of the available daylight Thursday, March 27, in their 1A Southwest Evergreen League double header, and still left the field with unfinished business. Tenino took the first end of the series by a score of 11-1, while the second contest was postponed at a 5-5

tie due to darkness after five innings.In the first game, errors again got the best

of the Spartans and Tenino was able to use every miscue to their advantage. Nate Gimlin started the contest on the mound for Forks and managed a respectable out-ing, going five innings and allowing only two earned runs, and sprinkling in four strikeouts.

Tenino defeated Forks 11 to 1 in this first game while the second game was called after five innings due to darkness with the score tied 5 to 5. The game will be completed in Tenino on April 22. Photo by Lonnie Archibald.

The bullpen crew was not able to extinguish the hot Beaver crew and defensive lapses only fueled the fire as Tenino piled on seven runs in the final two frames.

Forks was able to strike first in the second game, putting up three runs in the first inning after leadoff hitter Reis Lawson was hit by a pitch to start the rally.

Starting pitcher Javier Contrares, pitching for the second time this week, was able to keep the Tenino bats at bay through three in-nings before running out of gas in the fourth and surrendering three runs. He left the game with a no-decision.

Tenino took a 5-3 lead in the top of fifth inning on a bases clearing double by Kellen Miller, but Forks answered back in the nearly dark bottom half of that inning when Lawson (1 for 1, 2B, 2 runs) again was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and then was brought home on a towering two run homerun from catcher Reese Hagan (2 for 3, 3 RBI).

Zeb Chamberlain pitched all five innings for Tenino. The game will be wrapped up at Tenino when Forks makes the trip to south Thurston County later in the season.

“We responded well from the first game,” said Spartans coach Wayne Daman. “We came back and competed, never got down, and responded when adversity hit.”

Forks (2-2, 0-2 league) hosted league op-ponent Elma at the field in Beaver Tuesday, April 1.

spartan season opener swered runs.“We played a solid 2.5 innings,”

deadpanned Forks coach Wayne Daman after the game. Starting

pitcher Javier Contrares wore the loss for his team, although the majority of his runs were of the unearned variety.

by chiggers stokesSpecial to the Forks Forum

It didn’t take my bed in the hayloft being fed to the horses in the stalls below for the romance of my sleep-ing arrangements to be over. I confessed to Jim, my sister’s common-law husband: I was not cut out to share sleeping quarters with my dog and occasional guests such as a pig’s head. I had my eye on the lumber pile outside the barn.

Being a wheeler/dealer, Jim had acquired a considerable quantity of lumber including utility grade cedar This being 1973, and there being no clue that the supply of old growth cedar was not endless, Jim took $120 for three thousand board feet of knotty 1” by 12” siding. For another $280 he provided the joists, studs and rafters I would need for a cabin.

Jim had built a bridge across the creek from the driveway to

my sister’s cabin, but at the time he didn’t want vehicles on it. I had to carry every board to the building site a couple hundred feet into the woods beyond my

sister’s cabin.Once the building ma-

terials were delivered by chiggerspower, I still didn’t know squat about constructing a cabin. Jim was truly pa-tient in leading me step, by step, but I had some major distractions.

My girlfriend and I got caught out on the flanks of Mt. Jeffer-son, in an Indian Summer bliz-zard which dumped six feet of snow on us. It had a Donner Pass feel to it for the almost week we were stranded without food. We were briefly national news when we crawled out. A couple months later I attended a winter Outward Bound program out of the Sister’s wilderness. Outward Bind I called it. I continued to drive nails in between ordeals and slowly a superstructure emerged from the pile of lumber.

I have bragged that I walked away from public power in 1973, but, in truth I have lit more than one candle with extension cords and the like. So, I had run 200 feet of 12 gauge house wire from my sister’s cabin to my building site. I was intending to drive my two utilities (lights and an electric typewriter) on sisterly house power.

Half way through, Jim showed up with his worm-driven con-tractor’s circular saw. It was a beat up old work horse with a sticking blade guard. A temporary house-wire switch was electrician taped to the handle to replace the ac/dc toggle he had fried. It drew enough current to dim the lights back at my sister’s place.

Jim’s concern was that the 200 foot of extra wire would interfere with the high amp diet of the two horses that champed at the bit in that big industrial motor. There was already a roof of sorts over the two story project and we were working out of the weather on the ground floor. We had 500 pounds of wet cedar on two saw horses.

The issue of the extra 200 feet of wire was settled the first time the blade bound on a wet cedar 1” by 12”. The saw drug Jim across the cut and when he let

go, launched into the air, landing halfway across the tiny room. I began to assess the room in terms of shelter from a disaster. A tiny stool and the overladen saw horses were the only fur-niture.

A few successful cuts and the saw bound again, ripping itself from Jim’s grip and commenc-ing a high speed landing on my new floor. But this time it landed with the guard retracted and the

unit took off like a clown riding a unicycle...

But lacking in comic angle. The 7.25 inch blade became the two-horse-rider-of-Death in

the apocalypse of that confined space. I went for the high ground of the stool, leaving my brother-in-common-law to his fate.

It was like watching a Christian fed to a lion. Jim was knocked off his feet in the first charge and was trying to get up with the wood on the saw horses. As he tried to claw his way up, the saw made its second erratic pass and just missed him. There was already a quarter ton of wood on the saw horses and no room for

Jim. As the saw was coming in for the third try, it ran over its own cord and stopped short of the kill. Jim let go of the saw horse he was trying to climb and said, “I gotta get a better temporary switch.”

The tracks of that saw are still on that floor today, though the roof is falling in. My girlfriend, and later, my wife, would reside in that cabin much longer than me.

The Quillayute Valley School District Board of Directors met on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 for a regular scheduled board meeting. One of the highlights of newsworthy interest for the community of Fork pertains to the current grade organization.

Grade Organization: The Board of Directors discussed information about the poten-tial restructuring of its cur-rent grade bands (K-5, 6-8, 9-12). Kyle Weakley, assistant superintendent, provided background information about considering the change.

He highlighted Board Policy 1005, Key Functions of the Board, including vision (equity for ALL students), structure (environment to ensure all student attain their maximum potential), account-ability (success) and advocacy (SUCCESS for All, encourage progress and energize system-ic change).

The Board reviewed demo-graphic data: 68% of QVSD’s

student population qualify-ing for free or reduced lunch program and the District’s 3rd Grade Reading and Math trends from 2005-2013. The Board also reviewed infor-mation about the potential for increasing the hours and quality of the QVSD ECEAP pre-school program (due to changes occurring at the state and federal levels).

With this increase of serving 52 students from 2.5 hours to 6 hours daily in the 2014-15 school year, there will be a need to find additional space in the district.

The Quillayute Valley School District Board has the final au-thority of the grade level band configuration per Board Policy 2210, Grade Organization.

Diana Reaume, superin-tendent, highlighted the next steps:

For Colton Raben and Kody Hansen, Pee Wee basketball has come full circle. Having started out playing and now coaching the two are even us-ing the experience as a senior project. Kody’s mom Kayla brought the idea back to the West End Youth League after seeing her nephew playing in another town.

Kayla said, “I made it for first and second graders and for girls and boys and called it Pee Wee basketball, That first year we had seventy kids sign up.”

The teams have practice dur-ing the week and learn the basics of basketball. During

Pee Wee basketball really scoresgames there is no scorekeeping and if there is a foul or an error made the game is stopped and the player is told what they did and how they should do it, like just running with the ball and not dribbling which happens a lot at first.

Parents referee and coach.During the game Hansen could be heard calling out “sand-wich.” He wasn’t hungry: It was one of the names of one of the plays that had been taught to the kids. Other plays are “popcorn” and “hotdog.”

Besides coaching other par-ents help out with practice and game scheduling, uniforms and gym time.

At the end of the last game of the season, the Spartans having taken on the Tigers, the play-ers lined up and congratulated each other on a good game. Everybody was a winner.
